In a recent episode of “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” the host had some superstar guests on his chat show. Benedict Cumberbatch and Elizabeth Olsen, both known for their roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, joined James for an entertaining conversation.
The talk show kicked off with James asking the guests if they were fans of the Marvel movies. Both Benedict and Elizabeth showed their love for the franchise, and James took the opportunity to ask them about their superhero alter egos. Benedict revealed that he would be the “indestructible man” with no weaknesses. However, James jokingly pointed out that there is always some weakness in superhero mythology, mentioning Superman’s vulnerability to kryptonite and Batman’s broodiness.
The conversation then took a hilarious turn as James humorously imagined a real-life Bruce Wayne using his fortune for labor violations and tax fraud instead of fighting crime. The banter between the host and his guests had the audience in stitches.
Next, James moved onto some news topics, including the upcoming Mother’s Day and the expected record-breaking gift spending. He humorously pondered what people could possibly be buying their moms for an average of $245, suggesting it might just be a tank of gas.
The host also shared a survey result, revealing that 48% of moms prefer celebrating Mother’s Day at a restaurant. James amusingly interpreted it as them wanting to get “absolutely bombed off mimosas” and shared a funny scenario of picking the wrong restaurant.
Switching gears, James mentioned the upcoming Kentucky Derby and jokingly asked his guest, Nick Bernstein, who he would be wearing at the event. Nick revealed he would miss the Derby due to attending a wedding, leading to lighthearted banter about the importance of the Derby compared to the wedding.
Then, James excitedly announced that the LA County Fair was back after its hiatus in 2020. He playfully imagined indulging in all the fried food delights that county fairs are known for, including the outrageous options like fried butter. Elizabeth Olsen expressed her disbelief, calling James “bougie” for not wanting to go to a county fair.
As the segment continued, a surprise interruption occurred when Benedict Cumberbatch and Elizabeth Olsen crashed the show, blending margaritas and making themselves at home. James was both flustered and entertained, trying to regain control of the show while the fake Benedict and Elizabeth made jokes and caused chaos.
Eventually, the real James Corden appeared, revealing that the previous Cumberbatch was an imposter from another “multiverse” layer. Security was called to handle the situation, and the show went on a brief hiatus.
This lively and funny episode of “The Late Late Show with James Corden” certainly left viewers entertained. From superhero banter to spicy news commentary, James and his guests showcased their comedic talent and kept the audience laughing throughout.
